If you are presently living in Canada so are earning a decent income, please very easily get the cash approved. I sooo want to have people make comments on here but all I get is pay day loans people working to talk you into getting a loan from them so I closed down my opinions. Avoid payday loans, use them as little as you can, the less often you use them the less you expose yourself towards the dangers produces have.
All you basically require to do is make positive you have the needed funds in place to make the payment. All over people are having a tough time and sometimes a payday or short-term loan like here is the only practical solution. On the Wong website there is a simple way to be aware of exactly how much a short-term loan from Wong almost certainly cost your entire family.
Wong genuinely are a company perfectly found on the UK providing short-term 2 hours. There, I found out about a safe payday loan. If you can get payday loans with the consequences under 25%, you're very lucky.
They take advantage of the poor in their time of need. But if you keep accumulating debts from payday loans and failing to raise enough money to repay, your credit score will so keep plunging lower and lower. There's kind of loan that people often search for and which is a fairly large loan (of around $5000) simply no credit monitor. Tools such as barber's tools, carpenter's tools, and power tools are more items you simply can use for money.
Payday loans no credit check are the credit advances for which the lenders don't get the procedure of credit cheques. I ran out of money one paycheck and couldn't even buy food for my family! Florida's maximum loan amount $500. Finest amount within a cash cash loan that could be taken out in the regarding Florida is $500. This won't include the fees to be assessed with every loan. Total of such loans mainly depends upon the financial needs and also the credit record of the borrower.
For anyone self-employed or work freelance you can see apply, you don't must be an employee to get accepted, you just need to a regular income. The approximately or two has seen a massive increase in these so-called 'Payday Loan Services' which offer short-term loans for as much a month or in like manner tide somebody over until they receive. The economic effect associated with predatory lending practices has caused several states to create legislation to curb the practices of payday financial institutions.
The main problem with a payday advance loan is you will get of interest which could be as high as 50% in some cases, however the average pricing is around 35%, even at 35% end up being cost you $135.00 hoaxes . $100.00 may borrow leaving a massive drop within your family pay off the following month. With next up of recent technology, businesses industry also has expanded its base in bank-ii. This loan qualifies for little span of few weeks only. Be sure to speak with your local pawn shop before going there.
By this, After all that it's no longer just one of the shady regulars down the local pub that you just borrow money off (with the threat of broken kneecaps upon non repayment), now these criminals have an online prescence and fancy TV adverts trying to sell us the fun of short-term loans. They will contact function send document from boehner telling them not speak to your work send both letters CERTIFIED so you proof. According to the needs and requirements of the borrowers believe easily repay the debt taken. Features like no credit checking and fast approval cause it to borrower well-behaved.

By Irene Klotz
(Reuters) - NASA will turn over one of its mothballed space-shuttle launch pads to privately owned Space Exploration Technologies, or SpaceX, which intends to set up a second site in Florida for its Falcon rockets, officials said on Friday.
NASA's decision to lease out Launch Pad 39A at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida to SpaceX followed a challenge by rival bidder Blue Origin, a startup rocket company owned by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos.
On Thursday, the Government Accountability Office dismissed Blue Origin's protest over NASA's bidding process. Privately owned Blue Origin had proposed a multi-user concept for the launch pad.
In its ruling, the GAO said NASA was free to consider both exclusive and multi-use operational concepts for the launch pad.
GAO's review of the protest delayed NASA's plan to turn over the launch pad by October 1, 2013. NASA has said it spends around $100,000 a month to maintain the site.
The terms of the lease agreement with SpaceX were not immediately disclosed.
"NASA will begin working with SpaceX to negotiate the terms of its lease for LC-39A. During those ongoing negotiations, NASA will not be able to discuss details of the pending lease agreement," the agency said in a statement.
SpaceX already is flying its Falcon rockets from a leased launch pad at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, just south of the NASA spaceport. It also has a launch pad at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California, and is considering developing a commercial complex in Texas.
The company, founded and run by technology entrepreneur Elon Musk, has a backlog of more than 50 missions for NASA and commercial customers.

What are the pros?
What are the cons?
I grew this variety over the winter (Pensacola, FL) and it did well. The cabbage was very tasty and almost sweet. The heads were a little smaller than advertised, only about 2 to 3 pounds but I think it was because I had them planted a little too close together. I plan to plant it again this fall.

New addition to our Creation Research Museum, as Charlie Zeiss gets behind our work with a magnificent beautifully preserved fish from the Santana formation from Brazil. Every expert who has examined these fish has concluded they were fossilised while still alive. All their organs are intact and the evidence points to chemicals being forcibly impregnated into the fish as they drowned in a very rapidly deposited sediment. These fish are mostly easy to recognise because many are still living and again provide wonderful evidence God has created creatures each after their kind.
Specimens such as these continue to enable us to confound the evolutionists by proving that fossils don't take a long time to form – they take a process.

Identifies the CustomVisualStateManager dependency property.
Identifies the VisualStateGroups dependency property.
The VisualStateManager enables you to specify states for a control, the appearance of a control when it is in a certain state, and when a control changes states. For example, a Button might have a slightly different appearance when it is pressed than when it is not pressed. Two states that the Button defines correspond to when it is pressed ("Pressed") and when it is not ("Normal"). The appearance of a control when it is in a state is defined by a VisualState. A VisualState contains a collection of Storyboard objects that specify how the control's appearance changes when the control is in that state. You add visual states to a control by setting the VisualStateManager.VisualStateGroups attached property on the control. Each VisualStateGroup contains a collection of VisualState objects that are mutually exclusive. That is, the control is always in exactly one state of in each VisualStateGroup.
The VisualStateManager also enables you to specify when a control enters a specific state. The method that you should call to change states depends on your scenario. If you create a control that uses the VisualStateManager in its ControlTemplate, call the GoToState method. For more information about how to create controls that use the VisualStateManager, see Creating a Control That Has a Customizable Appearance. If you use the VisualStateManager outside of a ControlTemplate (for example, if you use a VisualStateManager in a UserControl or in a single element), call the GoToElementState method. In either case, the VisualStateManager performs the logic that is required to appropriately start and stop the storyboards that are associated with the involved state. For example, suppose that a control defines the states, State1 and State2, each of which has a storyboard associated with it. If the control is in State1 and you pass State2 to GoToState or GoToElementState, the VisualStateManager starts the storyboard in State2 and stops the storyboard in State1.
Controls that are included with Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) use the VisualStateManager to change visual states. When you create a ControlTemplate for a control that is included with WPF, you can add VisualState objects to the control's ControlTemplate to specify the control's appearance in a certain state. To find the names of the visual states for the controls that are included with WPF, see Control Styles and Templates. The control's logic handles transitioning between states, so you do not need to do anything other than define the VisualState objects in the new ControlTemplate. For more information about how to create control templates for existing controls, see Customizing the Appearance of an Existing Control by Creating a ControlTemplate.
If you want to implement your own logic for transitioning between states, you must inherit from VisualStateManager, override the GoToStateCore method, and set the VisualStateManager.CustomVisualStateManager attached property on the control that uses the custom logic.
The following example creates a Rectangle and adds a VisualStateGroup named CommonStates to the VisualStateManager.VisualStatesGroups attached property. The example defines the MouseOver and NormalVisualState objects in the CommonStatesVisualStateGroup. When the user moves the mouse pointer over the Rectangle, it changes from red to green over one half second. When the user moves the mouse away from the rectangle, the Grid immediately changes back to red. Note that the Normal state does not define a Storyboard. A Storyboard is not required because when the Rectangle transitions from the MouseOver state to the Normal state, the Storyboard for MouseOver is stopped and the Color property for the SolidColorBrush returns to red.
<Rectangle Name="rect" Width="100" Height="100" MouseEnter="rect_MouseEvent" MouseLeave="rect_MouseEvent"> <VisualStateManager.VisualStateGroups> <VisualStateGroup Name="MouseStates"> <VisualState Name="MouseEnter"> <Storyboard> <ColorAnimation To="Green" Storyboard.TargetName="rectBrush" Storyboard.TargetProperty="Color"/> </Storyboard> </VisualState> <VisualState Name="MouseLeave" /> <VisualStateGroup.Transitions> <VisualTransition To="MouseLeave" GeneratedDuration="00:00:00"/> <VisualTransition To="MouseEnter" GeneratedDuration="00:00:00.5"> <VisualTransition.GeneratedEasingFunction> <ExponentialEase EasingMode="EaseOut" Exponent="10"/> </VisualTransition.GeneratedEasingFunction> </VisualTransition> </VisualStateGroup.Transitions> </VisualStateGroup> </VisualStateManager.VisualStateGroups> <Rectangle.Fill> <SolidColorBrush x:Name="rectBrush" Color="Red"/> </Rectangle.Fill> </Rectangle>
The following example shows the event handler that is defined in the previous example and calls the GoToElementState method to transition between states. If the rectangle in the previous example was part of a ControlTemplate, the example would have to call the GoToState method.

Agreed but I think we would need an alliance for that fight no? Also...why the @#%^ do I see so many mother @#%^ers choosing Enif instead of Murzim body?
The Accuracy because they're Ragtards without a STP target or betting that buffs will make capped gear haste irrelevant and they think Red Curry (Buns) are the only food worth eating.
Protip: The 28 attack from Murzim/Dauntless over Enif/Tactical is boosted by every buff you get, far more valuable than attack from food, so eat Pizza and you come out 40 attack behind (on 1700+, less than 3%) but 30 accuracy ahead.
Put simply: Which is the better trade? -60 attack for +10 accuracy, or -40 attack for +30 accuracy?
It's lose-lose for Enif. If you need that accuracy, you're better off eating pizza and keeping the attack under your buffs. If you don't need that accuracy, Enif loses to everything else.
I'm more concerned with why they have a Homam body to trade in for Enif...

The Factor Game
Lesson 5 of 11
Objective: SWBAT identify the factors for numbers up to 100.
Today's Number Talk
For a detailed description of the Number Talk procedure, please refer to the Number Talk Explanation.pdf. For this Number Talk, I am encouraging students to represent their thinking using an array model.
Task 1: 18/3
For the first task, 18/3, some students drew an array, placed 18 on the inside, 3 on one side, and a ? mark on the unknown side: 18:3 = 6. Others decomposed the 18: 15:3 + 3:3 = 6.
Task 2: 36/3
During the next task, we discussed how to represent 36/3. Many students referred to the first task and pointed out that the dividend doubled so the quotient will double: 36:3 = 2(18:3).
Task 3: 300/3
During the next task, we quickly discussed how this division problem could be represented and didn't waste any time before moving on to the next task!
Task 4: 636/3
As the tasks increased with difficulty, so did student engagement. Here, a student decomposes 636 into 600 + 30 + 6 to solve this equation: 636:3.
Task 5: 1272/3
For the final task, student's were at first intimidated by a dividend in the thousands. With time, most students realized how they could use the previous tasks to solve this task: 1272:3.

Teacher Demonstration
To begin today's lesson, I introduced the goal: I can find the factors for numbers up to 100. I explained: Over the past few lessons, you have learned how to identify the factors for numbers using the prime factorization method and the u-turn method. Today you get to use your factor-finding skills to play a game!
Reviewing Multiples & Factors
To review Multiples and Factors. I asked students to turn and talk: Explain the difference between factors and multiples!
Reviewing Prime & Composite Numbers
Next, I referred to the I'm Prime Chant and began singing, "I'm Prime... P-R-I-M-E... the only factors are one and me. I then asked students to turn and talk: How many factors do all prime numbers have? (Two... One and itself.)
Two Factor Game Boards
I printed two different game boards of the factor game to provide students with tasks that increased with complexity: Factor Game to 30 and Factor Game to 100. I found one game board in The Department of Georgia's 4th Grade Unit Two document. After making copies of each game board, I placed each inside a page protector, back to back. Each pair of students will play using one game board at a time.
Factor Game Version A
Prior to this lesson, I found two different sets of directions for this game. Here's one set of directions included in Georgia's unit:
- You and your partner will have a different colored crayon or colored pencil. The first move is granted to the person wearing the lightest colored shirt.
- STEP 1: Partner A will use their color and color any number 1-99.
- STEP 2: Partner B will then color in all the factors for the number that Partner A just colored in.
- STEP 3: Once Partner B has colored in all factors, Partner B will color in any number 1-99, just like Partner A did in the beginning of the game.
- STEP 4: Now it is Partner A's turn to color in all the factors for the number that Partner B filled in. Continue the steps until the entire number chart is colored in.
- STEP 5: Go back to your number chart and count how many prime numbers you have. You earn 2 points for each prime number you colored in.
Factor Game Version B
I also found a different set of directions at Mathsolutions.com.
- Player A chooses a number on the game board and circles it. This will be Partner A's score for that round.
- Using a different color, Partner B circles all the proper factors of Player A's number.
- The proper factors of a number are all the factors of that number except the number itself. Partner B lists the factors. The sum of those factors is Partner B's score for that round.
- Player B then circles a new number. Player A circles all the remaining factors of that number. Then, play continues in this manner.
- The players take turns choosing numbers and circling factors.
- If a player circles a number that has no factors left which have not been circled, then that player does not get points for the number circles and loses his or her turn.
- The game ends when there are no more numbers left with uncircled factors.
- The player with the larger sum of factors and products is the winner.
Modeling the Factor Game
I decided to begin by teaching students Version A first as counting points for prime numbers seemed easier than adding the sum of all the factors. I also began by covering up half of the Factor Game to 30 game board to build a staircase of complexity: working with factors up to 15, then up to 30, and then up to 100. To make sure students were successful playing the game, I chose a student volunteer as my partner and modeled the directions step-by-step. Instead of circling with two different crayon colors, we used multi-colored dry erase markers.
It was then the students' turn to try!

Student Practice
Getting Ready
I passed out materials (a page protector with the two game boards (Factor Game to 30.and Factor Game to 100) front to back and multi-colored dry eraser markers) to each pair of students. Choosing partners is always easy in my classroom as students are already strategically placed in desk groups based upon behaviors and ability levels.
Playing the Factor Game up to 15
Students couldn't wait to begin playing! At first, I asked them to use half of the Factor Game to 30, just as I had modeled. During this time I conferenced with each group and asked questions to check for understanding and to push student thinking:
- What strategies are you using?
- What have you noticed about this game?
- What is your goal right now?
- How do you know if a number is prime or composite?
- Which numbers are the best to choose?
- Which numbers are the worst to choose?
With each of these questions, I would also ask: Can you explain why? This simple followup question really pushes students to construct viable arguments based on evidence (Math Practice 3).
Here's an example of Students Playing Game up to 15.
Playing the Factor Game up to 30
As students finished the first game, they eagerly came up to be and asked if they could play the full Factor Game to 30 board. Before letting some students move on, I Conferenced with Students about Strategies. I loved how one student pointed out that the game board to 30 might have an odd number of prime numbers instead of an even number of prime numbers!
Students then moved on to playing with the full game board: Students Playing Game up to 30. After most students had played the Factor Game up to 15 and up to 30, I knew we were ready for a change!
Teaching Version B.pdf
Students had become quite comfortable with Version A. of the game.... so comfortable that they began just picking all the prime numbers and ignoring the composite numbers as they were literally "pointless!" I realized that Version A encouraged students to focus mostly on prime numbers instead of identifying factors of numbers under 100. It was at this point that I wanted to raise the standard by teaching students Version B of this game!
I called students up to the front carpet and again, chose a volunteer to help me model the new directions. It didn't take very long to model the game as students were already familiar with the game. Using the Factor Game to 30, I explained: We are going to make this game a little harder! For this version of the game, you'll get 2 points if you circle the 2 and you'll get 15 points if you circle the 15 and you'll get 30 points if you circle 30. Let me show you how this works. (I explained while circling a projected game board.) Let's say partner A circles the 30. Partner A will get 30 points. Some students gasped at the number of points! However, Partner B will get to circle all the factors for 30. What are the factors for 30? (Students helped by identifying: 1, 2, 15, 3, 10, 5, 6. Who made more points... Partner A or B? Students added up the points and were surprised to find that Partner B actually had 42 points!
Playing the Factor Game up to 30 (Version B)
Students caught on quickly and were ready to try playing on their own! Prior to sending students off, I explained: After you play one more game using the Factor Game to 30., you can flip your page over and play on the hardest game board, Factor Game to 100. I also asked students to Show their Work on White Boards.
As students began playing, it was immediately clear that this game required more mathematical thinking than Version A and would also better today's goal. I so was glad we made the switch! I proudly watched as students were looking for and making use of structure within this game (Math Practice 7).
Playing the Factor Game up to 100
Again, students were eager to move on to the final level of today's activities. I loved watching students apply their factor-game-playing-skills that were developed with the easier game boards! I continued to conference with each group during this time: Students Playing Game Board up to 100.

During yesterday's discussion about the value of a college education, several people noted that it's difficult to decide what to study when you don't know what you want to do with your life. This reminded me of a recent question from the Get Rich Slowly discussion forums. Shaun wants to know: How do you find work that you love?
It's been said, "If you love your job, you'll never work a day in your life." But what happens when you can't figure out what you'd love to do?
I've been trying to figure out "what I wanna be when I grow up" for over ten years, and I still have no idea. I'm driving a delivery truck now. No offense, but any dummy can do my job. I feel like I'm wasting away doing this. I could be doing so much more, but I don't know what I want to do.
Going back to college for a four-year degree is not an option. I spent four years in college already, in which I tried three different majors. I have around $19,000 in student loans and no diploma to show for it.
Here's what I do know: I like dealing with people. I like working with numbers. I really enjoy sitting down and making budgets and things like that. I've always done very well in math in school. I liked the accounting and business classes I took while I was in college, but hated any type of English class.
Any advice? I'm stuck in a rut.
Some people are lucky and know what they want to do early. For example, my wife always loved science. Kris majored in chemistry, and then found a job teaching at a nearby high school. She liked the work, but after eight years she decided to try something else.
She'd always wanted to be a forensic chemist, so she researched the job and decided it might actually be a good fit. She took a couple of classes, from which she was able to learn that the job did indeed match her strengths. Now she works for the state police crime lab. She loves her work.
I wasn't so fortunate. I floundered in college, searching for something I truly enjoyed. I never found it. After working the worst job I ever had, I wound up selling boxes for the family business. This was safe, but it wasn't fulfilling, and it didn't call upon my strengths. Still, I stuck with the position for sixteen years. It was only when I realized that I could make a living through writing that I understood I'd been cheating myself. Now I, too, am moving toward meaningful work.
But how can you find meaningful work without spending sixteen years selling boxes? Or ten years driving truck? I don't know. I'm not sure anybody does. In a fantastic essay entitled "How to do what you love", Paul Graham writes:
Finding work you love is very difficult. Most people fail. Even if you succeed, it's rare to be free to work on what you want till your thirties or forties. But if you have the destination in sight you'll be more likely to arrive at it. If you know you can love work, you're in the home stretch, and if you know what work you love, you're practically there.
Surely some of you have found fulfilling work. How did you do it? Like Kris, have you always known what you wanted to do? Did you sort of stumble into it, like I did? Or have you given up hope of ever finding a job that you love? More importantly, what advice do you have for Shaun?

The relocation was necessary to accommodate the changes in our core business, linking our offices in Beirut, Stockholm, Cairo and Buenos Aires in a virtual global laboratory.
Beirut, Lebanon (PRWEB) January 15, 2014
Screens International, leading Arabic subtitling and dubbing company, relocated its head offices to the Masaad El Hajal center, on the Jal El Dib highway, in the first week of 2014.
The company spent the last two years planning and developing a high-tech infrastructure that links its offices in Beirut, Stockholm, Cairo and Buenos Aires in a virtual global laboratory, seeking larger horizons in the broadcast industry.
According to CEO, Joseph Akiki, "The relocation was necessary to accommodate the changes in our core business. Having been expanding our multi-language localization services, we needed offices to host more translators and subtitling experts in a comfortable Go-Green environment..."
In 1991, the company started as a small regional subtitling company and quickly grew into pioneer status by adopting first-hand technologies such as Digital Betacam subtitling, and later by becoming the first to adopt HD subtitling technology in the MENA region. By 1997, Screens International had built the most sophisticated dubbing and voice-over studios in the region. In 2007 Screens International added 3D subtitling to its portfolio, exposing it to more territories and more challenging ventures.
As 2014 starts, the company is soaring with success, taking on subtitling and dubbing projects for television networks and internet broadcasters in many languages such as Swedish, Norwegian, Dutch, German, French, Turkish, Russian, Arabic, Spanish, Portuguese, Farsi, Indian, and more… The Dubbing and Voice-over talents' library has also expanded drastically in the past few months. Screens International is now one of the world's finest providers of TV and Cinema localization, processing any film material to a naturally adequate version for broadcast in any part of the world.
It is indeed a thrilling challenge; to take into consideration various religious, ethnic, cultural, politic and historical particularities is a special know-how only acquired through long years of practice and direct exposure with a diverse client-base.
"What might be an acceptable translation of a slang in the United Arab Emirates, might be culturally unacceptable in the more conservative Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, even though both countries adopt the Modern Standard Arabic as official language," points out Nabil Charbel, Head of the Near-Eastern Languages department.
The relocation of Beirut's head offices was well planned and impeccably executed. Technical operations suffered no downtime, and the company remains operational 24/7 carrying out daily Arabic subtitling and Arabic dubbing projects. "We even took on several new projects the same day of the relocation!" says Key Account Manager Samar Nahas; that being one special Farsi dubbing and Arabic voice-over recordings for Bollywood movies in Hindi.
In a fast paced industry like broadcast media, it is essential to execute such changes without interruptions in deliveries. All teams worked hand in hand to ensure a smooth transition to the infrastructure upgrade that is already demonstrating improvements on numerous fronts.
CIO, Mario Daher explains: "…We're proud to see the results of these efforts come to fruition… Screens International has widened its compass to cover more interesting and vital services in the industry, such as Production for Video on Demand, Media Processing and mass digital library conversions... We now possess a more mature understanding of our clients' needs and it's only natural to go forward ahead of our 25 years reputation as leaders in Subtitling and Dubbing in the Middle East…"

Davidson County sheriff warns of jury duty phone scam
Davidson County sheriff warns of jury duty phone scam
A Triad sheriff is warning residents to beware of jury duty summons by text, phone or voicemail.
Davidson County Sheriff David Grice said the messages claim that people have failed to report to jury duty, and a warrant may have been issued against them.
However, anyone summoned to jury duty in Davidson County will be notified by mail at their home address only, Grice said.
"We will not contact you by phone, text, email or by any other means," Grice said.
Anyone who may have been contacted by the scam is asked to call the Davidson County Sheriff's Office Civil Division at (336) 242-2243.

Florida Atlantic stuns top-seed North Carolina with home run in seventh
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. -- Ricky Santiago hit a three-run homer in the seventh to help Florida Atlantic beat No. 1 overall seed North Carolina 3-2 on Sunday night in the NCAA tournament's Chapel Hill regional.
The teams meet Monday night to determine the regional title.
''I can't say enough about our guys who pitched really, really well, played very good defense,'' Florida Atlantic coach John McCormack said. ''Now we've just got to do it all again [Monday].''
Santiago's homer was the first hit for the second-seeded Owls (42-21) and one of three all night. But the Tar Heels (54-9), while managing 12 hits, left 15 runners on base and repeatedly came up empty in key moments.
Now the Tar Heels, who started 39-2 and won the Atlantic Coast Conference title, must pick up themselves from a regional loss that looked similar to last year's loss to St. John's on a walk-off homer.
UNC hasn't lost consecutive games all season.
''This club has pretty much led themselves all year,'' UNC coach Mike Fox said. ''I trust my team. We've got some good leaders in there. I'm sure they're not very happy. We do have another game to play, so it'll be up to them and us and everybody to shake this one off and come into the ballpark [Monday] and be ready to play.''
Before Santiago's hit, North Carolina appeared to be in control with Hobbs Johnson pitching six no-hit innings. UNC led 2-0 behind an RBI single by Colin Moran in the first and a sacrifice fly by Michael Russell in the fifth.
But Johnson said he struggled with his control and eventually left after allowing his fifth walk in the seventh. Three batters later, Santiago knocked a pitch from reliever Trevor Kelley (2-1) over the left-field wall for the 3-2 lead.
''Everyone was frustrated just because I felt like we were hitting balls hard most of the night and they were getting caught,'' Santiago said. ''But we have some good leadership that kept everyone up. Our pitchers kept us in the game, which is big-time. Our defense kept us in the game. Then I was able to get the big hit.''
Reliever Michael Sylvestri (4-2) earned the win by allowing no hits in two scoreless innings.

Sitting in the stands watching what nearly turned into a Canadian upset was a Canadian embarrassment.
QMI Agency photographer Ben Pelosse snapped this photo of a white fan attending the Canada-Latvia quarterfinal hockey game at the Sochi Olympics wearing blackface and holding a P.K. Subban jersey.
Blackface has historically been used to create a stereotyped caricature of black people. Subban is a Canadian of Jamaican descent.
This isn't the first time fans of Subban have attended games in blackface. While he was a rookie with the Hamilton Bulldogs in 2010, a pair of Montreal Canadiens fans attended a Habs game in blackface wearing Subban shirts.

I'd like to start out by announcing my complete noob-ness to this world. I was a vegetarian all through middle school and high school and most of my time in the military (in total, age 12-20) and now, at 22 after a year back to meat, I am dying to go back to being a vegetarian... well, now vegan. I am lactose intolerant but have always taken meds in order to consume dairy, but NO MORE!
As previously mentioned, I am 22 years young, divorced and a mother to a beautiful little boy who will be 2 years old in February. I currently live with my boyfriend who is starting the 30-Day Vegan Challenge with me in about 2 weeks along with P90X and Insanity starting this week (as of yesterday).
I have tons of books and experience when it comes to the eating and vitamins part, but I am not sure about the workout part. I'm a runner (well, I was before I got pregnant and lazy and had a kid and started college and got even more lazy) but I used to do marathons. I want to get back to that. I am currently 5'2" and 160 pounds. YIKES! I know. I hate looking at my big c-section belly in the mirror every day. That's why I'm making a change! I am battling depression and OCPD atm and that likes to add the weight on, along with my medications. But, I want to get to a point where I no longer need these medications to make it through the day. I want to be free.
All of that being said, I would like to ask a few questions to you all. My goal is to get down to 110 pounds and between 12% and 17% body fat, though I don't know what's best for me at the moment. (any advice?) And I want to ultimately have a runner's build but more upper body strength as my boyfriend and I love to go hiking and rock climbing in the mountains by our home. Running and P90X lifting along with some Asylum is our workout regime (mostly running for me) so I'm trying to find what's the best workout foods I need to have.
I currently take the pre-workout supplement Jack3d (the original formula) and yes, I really do need a pre-workout or there is no way I get anything done (right now, in the beginning anyway,) USPLabs Modern BCAA, AdvantEdge Protein Shake (post-workout) and clif protein bars. So, I need help. What needs to change? What's better for me and my goals? How much protein do I need? I really just need some help getting all of this figured out. I've searched so many websites and everything is circumstantial. So, there's my circumstance and now I need your help filling in the gaps. I'm just a noob, I don't know what I'm doing here... but I want to.

Re: Noob
Protein is usually equal to about 1 gram for every pound of your body weight. I know myself trying to gain muscle mass I take in more than that, but to keep your muscles in a state where they can properly rebuild themselves, I'd suggest that. If you're trying to lose your fat, eat clean. That's the best advice I can give. Stirfries for me are really quick meal, whole wheat pasta, salads with avocado, and oatmeal for breakfast. For your energy, instead of a pre-workout, make sure you're getting tons of sleep, and try a green tea an hour before your workout.
That's my two cents, there are plenty of other members on here more knowledgeable than me

"This is Thailand," said Noom, dramatically. He's called Noom because his real name is Ratthapoom Worasutpisan, which doesn't exactly roll off the tongue. Particularly for a first-time visitor to the country.
Noom stopped his bike, spreading his arms, widely, as if to wrap them around the scenery that surrounded our cycling group of four.
Behind us, a lush, green rice paddy stretched out to the blue-hued mountains in the distance. Next to us were banana trees. On the road ahead, giant stalks of sugar cane towered. Rows of eggplant lined the nearby river, its banks full of fragrant Thai basil plants. It certainly was something to look at.
"Paradise," Noom pronounced.
During the winter months, many a traveler to Thailand hits the country's renowned coastline. Eager to avoid crowds — crowds we could do at home in New York, beaches we could do in Florida — my husband and I opted for Northern Thailand instead. By bike.
We flew to Bangkok, but couldn't wait to get out of the noisy, overcrowded city, staying at the airport hotel just long enough — 36 hours — to almost recover from jet lag.
Our six-day trip, booked through Spice Roads, a cycling specialist, offering moderate-level trips for leisure cyclists who exercise regularly. Our trip was to include 25 to 35 miles on a bike per day, about 135 miles total, on a week-long adventure between the cities of Sukhothai and Chiang Mai.
Our guides — Noom, who biked alongside us, and Sirikarin Chuchun — him we called Rin — followed us in a van loaded with supplies, our luggage and snacks. They showed us a side of Thailand we never would have seen without them.
We dined on outstanding food at hole-in-the-wall restaurants so local that Noom didn't know their names; some of them didn't seem like they had names to know. We took our sneakers off countless times to enter temples adorned with Buddhas of all shapes, sizes and colors. We wound our way along riverside dirt paths among rice fields and farmers, to get a true feel for what is Thailand.
Our pace was quick enough to keep everyone energized, but leisurely enough to stop, snap a photo, or try a local snack, such as deep-fried bananas and yams from a family stand. Sometimes we'd drop in on a small museum — like one built around a kiln from the 13th century.
As we rode through the countryside, we examined the wares of a wood carver and a pottery-maker. Closer to Chiang Mai, our destination city, we bought handmade wooden vases and embroidered wrap skirts at a blocks-long handicraft mall with hundreds of vendors. We also shopped at a more traditional outdoor market where Thais buy everything from tube socks and CDs to food. (Pungent fermented fish was intriguing, but I didn't try it.)
"You can buy everything here, except true love," said Noom. Even roosters for illegal cock fights, apparently. (We witnessed the start of one fight, but quickly moved on to eat fresh waffles.)
Along the way, we slept in family-run hotels and local resorts. At meals, Noom would translate for us: not too spicy (mai ped), super spicy (ped ped), vegetarian dumplings please. He'd guide us to dishes traditional to the region, including glass noodles, crispy fish, dessert dumplings with sweetened condensed milk on top. ("The Thai have a sweet tooth; that's why we are so romantic," says Noom.) We guzzled far too many Thai iced teas and indulged in Thai massages after long days of biking (I quickly learned that bow bow means not too hard.)
Spice Roads offers reasonably priced (and well-guided) cycling tours across Asia.
For our many temple visits, Noom explained the rules: Walk clockwise around it, no photos of the monks in their saffron robes and stay far enough away so there's no danger of brushing up against one.
In our 135-mile ride, the terrain changed a lot. On day one, we glided on fairly flat roads, through paddies of jasmine rice where the air smelled nutty and delicious, past morning glories growing along a river, heading to ruins outside Sukhothai, the first capital of Thailand from the 13th-century "golden age" of Siam. Towards evening, the sun set behind the statues, which cast long shadows. We had dinner, including fried morning glory (kind of cross between spinach and asparagus), in the small town and watched the Southeast Asian Games games on TV — Thailand was playing Indonesia in badminton.
Day two, we painfully bumped along a red dirt path, following another river, passing banana, eucalyptus and teak trees, as we waved to farmers resting in the shade. Day three, we rode through Thung Saliam — with good cars and houses compared to bikes and shacks, it felt very suburban — on our way to the Wat Phra Thart Doi Suthep, or the Golden Buddha Temple, which is up a massive red staircase lined with dragon sculptures.
Day four was more strenuous as we made our way through the mountains, a stop for fresh coconut milk giving us a needed energy boost.
On day five, we drove — finally, a break — up the highest peak in Thailand, Doi Inthanon. Topping out at over 8,500 feet in elevation, it was a chilly 40 degrees at the summit; we watched happy Thai tourists in their cold-weather finery group up for wintry photo-ops. After visiting nearby 50-meter-high waterfalls, Rin and Noom set up lunch from the small, festive outdoor food market — papaya salad, fish stuffed with herbs then steamed in a banana leaf and served with sticky rice, another regional favorite.
As we neared our final destination, the city of Chiang Mai, pedaling along a quiet, almost lonely, riverside path, the sun was low, the shadows long and a golden light washed through the fields. Wood fires scented the air as the day wound down.
"Paradise," Noom said, one last time. Like all the other times, he was right.
Spice Roads offers a variety of different cycling tours throughout Asia; the author's trip — a by-request Sukhothai to Chiang Mai ride — cost $1,250 per person, land only. A similar, 7-day, 6-night Thailand Heritage Ride takes riders from Bangkok to Chiang Mai, with monthly departures. More at spiceroads.com.

Wyden zeros in on plan to boost logging revenue
By JEFF BARNARD
Of the Associated Press
GRANTS PASS — Sen. Ron Wyden is zeroing in on his plan for boosting logging on federal lands in Western Oregon and helping rural counties beset by money problems.
The Oregon Democrat announced Thursday a more specific framework for legislation to address complaints that so-called O&C lands have not been turning out the level of money for timber counties they did before logging was cut back to protect the northern spotted owl and salmon from extinction. He said he hoped a bill would become law before the end of the year.
"We are building the kind of coalition that will navigate Congress and get signed by the White House," Wyden said from Washington, D.C. "It is not going to ignite an ideological war. It will give us a chance to do what we do best in Oregon, which is to find a way for people to get jobs in rural Oregon, boost timber harvest, and respect the treasury."
Wyden's proposal differs from another in the House in one key area. Wyden's would give timber counties with below-average tax rates incentives to help themselves. However, it does not spell out what those incentives are.
Since 1937, the 18 O&C counties have received half the revenues from timber cut on a patchwork of 2.4 million acres of land in western Oregon that reverted to the federal government after the bankruptcy of the Oregon & California Railroad. The lands are managed by BLM.
When logging was booming in the 1970s, some counties did not have to charge property taxes. Since logging cutbacks were implemented on federal lands to protect the northern spotted owl and salmon, timber payments dropped precipitously. A federal safety net to make up for the drop has expired, and some counties are struggling to keep jails open and sheriff's patrols on the road.
On Tuesday, three of those counties voted on proposals to boost property taxes to fill the budget gap on law enforcement. Voters defeated tax hikes in Curry and Josephine counties but approved jail funding in Lane County, the largest recipient of O&C funds.
While short on specifics, Wyden proposed splitting the O&C lands roughly in half, with a portion managed primarily for timber, and a portion managed for fish and wildlife habitat. Unlike the House proposal, Wyden's plan would keep the lands under federal agency control and federal law. It calls for revising federal laws covering O&C lands to allow a steady and sustainable timber harvest. It also called for land swaps to consolidate the one square mile checkerboard of lands to make management easier.
The counties and other interest groups would figure out how the lands would be divided.
Wyden proposed a separate bill to restore the federal subsidy to rural counties dependent on natural resources. The aide formula would take into account local tax rates that are below average and include incentives for counties to help themselves.
"This provides everyone concerned about jobs in rural Oregon and about stable funding for counties and the services they provide with an opportunity to shape the future of O&C lands," Lane County Commissioner Sid Leiken said in a statement.
The plan drew support from the timber industry, a conservation group that had vehemently opposed the House plan, and the primary sponsor of the House plan.
"Instead of a bailout based on public lands logging, this appears to be following a shared responsibility approach where there would be a federal component, but counties are going to have to do their fair share," said Steve Pedery of Oregon Wild.
Rep. Peter DeFazio, D-Ore., said the goals of Wyden's plan are consistent with the ideas in the House proposal, and he looked forward to working with Wyden.
Tom Partin, president of the American Forest Resource Council, a timber industry group, said he was encouraged Wyden recognized the need for legislation to increase logging on the O&C lands to supply local mills and provide revenues to counties.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - New York City mayoral candidate Anthony Weiner may have exchanged sexually-charged messages with as many as three women in the two years since he resigned from Congress amid revelations of similar behavior, press reports said on Thursday.
"I don't believe I had any more than three," Weiner told reporters on Thursday, according to the news site Politico
Weiner, 48, resigned from the U.S. Congress in June 2011 after admitting he used Twitter and other social media to send lewd pictures of himself to women he met online.
In May, he launched his bid to the next mayor of New York City and briefly led his Democratic rivals in polls.
But after a gossip website published new exchanges between Weiner and an unnamed women, which had continued until last summer, Weiner has faced calls to withdraw from the race.

lets start at the beginning
I have been fat forever. I have never been a "normal" weight, I was always chubby as a child, who grew into a tubbier teenager and an even bigger twenty-something. The time has come, I am determined NOT to spend my 30s fat and uncomfortable.
I could spend months examining the whys and blaming other people for my weight, yes I have some issues with food which you can trace back to the original source, but there isnt much point hashing over all that now. I am the one who put the food in my mouth, and its time I became accountable for that.
I wish I could go back to my ten year old self and whisper in her ear. Dont let food become an issue, it wont replace your loneliness, it isnt your friend. I think if I didnt develop such a secretive relationship with "bad" food at this age I would have grown into a normal sized teenager. Hindsight and all that!!
